LEADING VEHICLE BRAKING DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240092351 titled 'LEADING VEHICLE BRAKING DETECTION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method, computer system, and computer program product for brake detection in vehicles. The invention involves analyzing geometric ratios from images of the rear portion of a vehicle to detect braking actions.
- Determining a first geometric ratio from an image of the rear portion of a vehicle
- Determining a second geometric ratio from another image of the same vehicle
- Detecting a braking action if the second geometric ratio is less than the first geometric ratio
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in automotive safety systems to improve brake detection and response in vehicles.
Problems Solved
1. Enhances the accuracy of brake detection systems in vehicles 2. Helps in early detection of braking actions, improving overall safety on the road
Benefits
1. Increased safety for drivers and passengers 2. Improved efficiency in brake detection systems 3. Enhanced overall vehicle performance
Potential Commercial Applications
Enhanced brake detection technology for automotive manufacturers
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to brake detection systems in vehicles, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between normal deceleration and emergency braking?
The abstract does not specify how the system distinguishes between regular deceleration and emergency braking, which is crucial for accurate brake detection.
What types of vehicles can this technology be implemented in?
The abstract does not mention the specific types of vehicles that can benefit from this brake detection technology, leaving room for further clarification on its applicability.
